Story

In the wake of a new type of drug (street name: Bath Salts), the once civilized world falls victim to the uncontrollable addictive nature of it. Widely popularized for its dangers to physical and mental health, the drug became popular among the drug addicts and thrill-seekers due to its popularity in the media. Junkies addicted to the drug have gained a resilience to pain, enraged with adrenalin and cannibalistic tendencies; an appetite for the human flesh. The drug has created a new type of threat to all cities world-wide.

As the government tries to quarantine the addicted, the public becomes divided in opinion with the action. The majority of society wishes to have the addicted kept off national land, away from the general public, a few even want the addicted executed. For they believe they are no longer human-beings and only a danger to the people. The coalition Against The Addicted is a activist group known as C.A.A. that wants to see the addicted gassed. Some members have even tried hunting down the infected and killing them off, themselves.

The second half is a human rights activists' group known as "We Are All People" also known as W.A.A.P. As the addicted are contained while scientists work towards finding out a cure. The two groups C.A.A. and W.A.A.P. collide in protests against one another and the government.

Scientists scramble to find out the chemical compounds of the type of Bath Salts which seems to generate preeminent damage and ever-lasting effects which originally were only short-term. The damage to the brain is severe. In most cases the addicted are no longer able to communicate or talk. They are simply reduced to a primitive beast; enraged with adrenalin and the hunting nature of a predator. They have no way of being cured it seems. The scientists, biologists and chemists work together to finding out if the damaged caused by Bath Salts is repairable.

Meanwhile W.A.A.P. was a group in support of the governments movement to inprison the addicted into mental asylums. However rumors have spread that within these facilities scientists are using these addicted as lab rats to find a cure. Opening them up and seeing how the drug works. Essentially barely keeping them alive, just enough to find out what they need to get from them.

When members of W.A.A.P. found out about this rumor they quickly lobbied for the proper protection of the addicted and protest for the protection of their lives and well being as human beings.

The C.A.A. finding out about the rumors, maintains their ground in the eradication of the addicted. They claim its a waste of tax dollars to find a cure and to just eliminate the problem.

Pro-BS is a group that lobbies for the use of bath salts. They claim that there has never been any defiant proof that Bath Salts is the cause of the zombie-like attacks in the cities. However their very own leader becomes addicted to the drug and becomes one among the addicted. This early group later becomes a grouping of addicted among the mod of addicted on the streets. Armed and enraged by Bath Salts.

You as the player get to choose which side you stand for.

Sounds, uh, exploitative

edit: BUT, good work coming up with new material! How would you characterize the gameplay you're imagining. Is it all survival horror-esque like the youtube video?

@asgromo I was playing with a few ideas. One was a complete shoot'em up. Another was much more horror and suspense. I think it might play much like how the FEAR games do. Though I'm thinking of limited the weapons a lot more to more melee types.

What engine do you use? Unity? FPS Creator?

The second, FPSC. I work very closely with the developers of that engine. Its a great program but the scripting syntax needs some work. They are developing a new engine which I'll hopefully be able to use instead.
